$96 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Canadian dollars for the base game?

[(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞]

I'm never buying another capcom game.

This pricing is downright atrocious.

The typical AAA game here is 89.99, but for some reason this game goes beyond that to 96.99. It's a bit odd, but matches (almost) the ~27 cent difference between the USD and CAD. Not entirely sure why they felt the need to add that extra $7.

Yup. This is the new normal. And we can thank folks such as the couple idiots in this very thread for normalizing it: Kackstift & Poyzo. I'm sure more people will add themselves to the list before this thread dies.

Looking forward to 2030 prices: $176 for the base version, $666 for the collector's.

I remember back in the 90s and 00s when it was expected that gaming going fully digital would lower prices. Lol

Of course, that was before the mainstream bandwagon gamers (Kackstift & Poyzo) joined the party and publishers found the 'Yes Men' they needed to justify going in the opposite direction of common sense: fully digital = HIGHER prices.

I can't wait for this industry to crash and burn.

Ah I love comments like this. Let me introduce you to a brand new word: "inflation".
Lets take your example and go back to 1990. Back then you'd have to spend 40 bucks to spend the equivalent of $96 today.
Gaming hasnt become more expensive. It was always this expensive. Have some common sense...

For a while we Canadians coasted off such benefits as companies like Capcom not accounting for a regional price difference between the US and Canada. I remember buying Resident Evil Revelations 2 when it just came out. I got it for like 15$ cheaper than Americans because of that. These days everyone always accounts for CAD being 75% the value of USD and some even round the price up afterwards.

Anyway. Capcom charging 70$ USD for Wilds isn't that surprising. As a Canadian, I was already used to paying 84$ CAD for 60$ USD games. The 96$ CAD was inevitable as the +10$ USD price increase happened. Very few games are worth this price, but to me Wilds is one of those games.

Here's an idea:

Step 1 -Don't buy the game at launch, let other people deal with Optimization problems/Denuvo/Week 1 patches and buy the game later with the G rank expansion at a fraction of the price.

Step 2 - ???

Step 3 - Profit.

Ikr, this cost $99.90 for my country for just the base game, what the f*k.
